news 28 Posted January 27, 2009 Solid state drives (SSDs) are definitely one of the most interesting product categories of the day as they promise users benefits of flash memory for primary storage and the end of the platter-based hard drive reign. The OCZ Apex is unique in that it uses internal RAID-0 configurations to help speed that transition along. URL: http://www.pcper.com/article.php?aid=661 Quote: "Probably the most interesting part of the OCZ Apex drive is the fact that it uses not one, but rather a pair, of the JMicron JMF602 controllers. Yes, these controllers are somewhat notorious for performance issues including stuttering and pausing but they are cheap and allow OCZ to offer drives with larger capacity than what MLC Samsung-based drives and Intel-based drives offer. In order to attempt to address these performance complaints the Apex series uses a PAIR of the controllers with an internal RAID-0 configuration." Thanks for a post!
